I went the RAR in 22LR with a threaded barrel, for the same reason,(I already had magazines galore for it).
It shoots very well with the right ammo,(Wolf Match Target Extra). Doesnt really like CCI Quiet too much, but it's stupid fun to shoot with subs. |

Will you modify it? If so, you should look at the CZ 455 options.
I've got a Savage FV-SR in a Boyd stock that's a good shooter. Probably have around $450 in it with the stock. The American saves you from buying new mags.. They're all solid options.

Having owned both, definitely get the Ruger. Far better stock and mags. Savage might have a SLIGHT edge in trigger and accuracy.

I have the Savage as well as the Ruger American #8334 which is Rugers competitor to the FVSR.
I recommend the Ruger, it has better mags, better fit and finish, better factory stock, and I feel better trigger after a few simple mods. My Savage has a very slight edge in accuracy from the bench but I have had tons of extraction problems to where you have to make sure you carry a knife or tool when using it to pry spent shells out. |

I have both
 best decision I ever made
Ruger American is .17HMR but still super quiet with my suppressor. I see some people are leaning towards the Ruger but I have to say that my Savage is hands down my favorite firearm. I've never had any extraction or jamming issues like anyone else here and it's accuracy is ridiculously impressive. |

I had both. I still have the Ruger. It's the "predator" threaded, heavy barrel. Shoots great, and, as mentioned, the fact that it takes BX-10, BX-15, and BX-25 magazines (and I have a lot of them already for my Charger and 10/22) makes it a no-brainer for me.
The accuracy is good, and, to be honest, without going up to the Anshutz/Cooper price range, I don't notice enough of a difference to make a difference. |

I have owned both, the Ruger is much nicer in my opinion.
They have very similar triggers, but the flush fitting magazine in the RAR is great for shooting off a bag. I also like the adjustable cheek rest (you get 3 options I believe). I really disliked the non flush fitting magazine on the Savage, that's a deal breaker for me. I got the green model and I absolutely love it. It'd by far the best 22 rifle I've owned, especially when you combine it with an AAC element 2! |

Ruger 8334
Edit to add a link to a range report I did with mine. I also shot the 1 MOA challenge and posted .995 MOA with it. 8334 range report |

The ability to use 10/22 mags is what swung me to the Ruger America .22 A/V
And I don't even have a 10/22

I have both, I give the edge to the RAR because the magazines are better.
The Savage is a great shooter I just do not like the mags. |

I bought a Ruger American today. Love it. And it uses 10/22 mags. My reasons for it being better for me than FVSR.
Better Stock Iron sights 10/22 Mags Safety positioning And cause I got it with mags and decent scope and everything for about what an FVSR would have run me. |

Humorously, I purchased both a MKII Savage and a Ruger American Rimfire this weekend.
Bought the Savage first, shot it a bit at home and something just didn't sit right with me on it. Dunno what. Went back and looked at the RAR, and brought it home with me today. Shot it a bit this afternoon. The Savage has a better trigger, but I like the feel and fit and finish of the RAR better. Hopefully next weekend I'll try to do some accuracy testing between the two. |

I bought a RAR and Nikon rimfire scope Saturday. I shot it Monday. It hates the CCI quiet. That stuff will be relegated to my daughters cricket.
The RAR LOVES Winchester subsonic. I'm happy with it. I just need to find some more Winchester subs |
